Hello Herr Oberst, I fully agree with your assessment about both films.
When I was at the reunion in 2000, I made it a point to talk with Dieter Hille and a few others about that film. This movie was the first Robert Mitchum movie I ever saw. Many a Friday or late Sat night, this movie was shown. This is also how I became a fan of Clint Eastwood (especially in movies like
Kelly's Heroes and Where Eagle's Dare. Those two movies are what made me an Eaastwood fan partly because those movies are my first memories of him. It's too difficult to accurately pick the exact John Wayne movie-that I first saw and in which made ma a life long fan of his. Im thinking it's The Green Berets, or: The Alamo.
